The order at it's largest, in 1916...notice how they have even attacked France...

Definately gets my own seal of approval. The question is now balancing the Sanusians between being pathetically weak and too strong for their neighbours. Is Egypt going to have much of it's own army or are they effectively Ottoman land with an Egyptian name?

But with earlier techdates so they could perhaps pose some danger to the germans. Focus on combined arms actions, Assault and Counter-Attack. Good morale bonuses.
Yes, isn't it? But seriously, you are free to make up cool doctrine names for the canucks.Arilou said:Brilliant
CCurio said:I've been actually tinkering with new doctrines that would replace some of the old ones for the mod lately, but it's in the faaaar future of the mod and so far there is little concrete work done...
But so far ideas include...
Infantry Adaption
A tree of doctrines focusing on terrain/weather bonuses, Delay, Encirclement and Ambush. There are separate Northern/Tropic/Desert Tactics but the player can have only one of them. In real life terms this would be for guerilla-ish armies and I especially had Finland and possible SE asian revolters in mind with this. The terrain bonuses can be useful, very so, but this tree of doctrines is at disadvantage when attacking a mechanized army on plain terrain.
Schwerpunkt Attacks
This is essentially refinement and eventual mechanization of the German WWI tactics. Minor night attack bonuses, focus on Assault and Breakthrough. Less panzers, more combined arms than in the vanilla game.
Levee en Masse
The French human wave.
Lightning War
...Blitzkrieg without the cool german names.
Anyway, if we're going to be adding new techs, the number one priority are Zeppelins!
Yes, well, in general, this isn't exactly an urgent matter, so we'll have time to think about this stuff.Sarmatia1871 said:Interesting - not sure how neccessary the last two would be - eg. you can probably just rename the 'human wave' doctrine and change the dates/requirements, and blitzkrieg is good with the German names!
I definitely like the terrain/weather bonuses for guerilla type armies (and Finland of course!) - but I think you can actually get this working via events, and don't need the very big task of redesigning the tech-tree to do it!
CCurio said:Oooh, Zeppelins! Can't wait to see them!
CCurio said:Meanwhile, here is three vexilogicaly less chaotic suggestions for Nationalist French flag...
....
Also, I got ideas for the UOB/FC flag but...how much national symbolism should remain there and what is "Industrial Democracy" in french?
Arilou said:For future doctrines I had some (vague) Ideas that was kicking around while I was making sandwhiches:
Basically one "Mobility Focus" doctrine, that splits off into "Armoured Focus" (essentially focuses on arm, mot & mec to the exclusion of everything else, good for the canadians) and a "cavalry focus" (for poor guerilla-nations, movement improvement for most troops in bad terrain, bonus to cavalry.... Basically it focuses on making the most out of the cheap troops eg. Kossacks or Sanousi might have without actually making them formidable in set-piece battles)
One "Great War inheritance" doctrine that splits of inot "Combined Arms Focus" (the german doctrine, which gives moderate bonuses to basically everything: Jack of all trades but Master of None...) and one "Inflitration Assault" (basically the japanese vanilla doctrine)
Then we have the terrain-focused doctrine for the finns and SE-Asian revolters, and the "Mass Assault" doctrine for the french and any other you might pick (Chinese millenarists?)
Admittedly this is all in the future
